Now we can start joking about americans faking falcon 9 landing.
look at the evidence dude, this was a pre-recorded shoot only reversed for broadcast plus it looks nothing like the moon.
+Gigatless I am living in my own Truman Show ^^ WHERE IS MY ALUPAPER HAT?!
+Gigatless WASN"T EVEN THE SAME ROCKET THAT TOOK OFF! THE TOP HALF WAS MISSING! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
+McLovin McLovin Can confirm, this looks nothing like the moon!!
This landing must be fake.
+Vex T I guess he was joking ;)
the energy and excitement is off the fuckin charts. HELLLLL YEAAHHH
+iDubbbzTV What are you, fucking gay?
+iDubbbzTV I see you browsing the popular Reditto Videos often.
+iDubbbzTV go back to africa
Hey, that's pretty good.
+Ethan Gilbert bro. i love reddit. im also a huge space nigga. i have 5000 hours in KSP
Space X just wrote itself into the history books
+Dalton Morgan all hail SpaceX
Jevin Randhawa Agreed. I have a friend who works at Space X in safety controls. Going to have to shake his hand next time I see him
+Dalton Morgan If I were him I wouldn't gave my hand to a guy who works as a paid troll lol
+Dalton Morgan As the second company to land a reusable booster?
Behind another start up US company Blue Origin except this was to much bigger scale then they did
I showed this to my Grandpa last Christmas. He spent his life as an aerospace engineer and I think I woke him up that day, he said "How the... what... how did..." Was very clear to me that moment what a significant event this was.
Gives me chills to see how far we have progressed in just under 2 decade's, everyone said Elon couldn't do it, so he made it happen 🤟
Tony Stark: "Yeah. I can fly."
Elon Musk: "Yeah. I can LAND."
Ha! nice.
Good one!
😂
+Reirainsong HAAA lol
+Reirainsong We all know Musk is Tony Stark IRL
It was great watching it live with the kids. They know history was being made. Well done SpaceX for inspiring the next generation!
+AirCommandRockets I hope they enjoyed it, it will be their generation that is handed future colonization and mining in space
+AirCommandRockets Have you shown KSP to your kids yet? :D
+AirCommandRockets "inspiring the next generation!" =>This came in good time. At this day and age, enough people are believing conspiracy theories like flat earth, 5,000-mile away sun, hologram moon and other silly things. Lets hope that Space-X does inspire kids toward science and technology like the space program of the 60s and 70s did.
+corisco tupi so true im sick of these conspiratards
+AirCommandRockets Seriously get your kids to play KSP
1969: "The Eagle has landed"
2015: "The Falcon has landed"
Both historical, both awesome
Well, I saw the moon landing and now I've seen another historical moment as Earth's space program reaches another milestone. Well done!
I'M GETTING NERD CHILLS TASTELESS!!

+Fuzzy Gaming sean plott's brother?
+Fuzzy Gaming Haven't heard that in years
+Fuzzy Gaming hail poopfeast420!
TASTOSIS NEVER DIES
A long time ago, there was the first creature who came out of the sea and took a step, he quickly went back in but he didn't die and others would follow. This is equally as momentous.
+paynie It's crazy to think the implications of this landing. This will at some point later in history will be looked back upon when we have greater and more advanced technology. It's just amazing being alive to witness it. This is what it means to be human.
and later there was a first creature who looked up and wondered if he could ever climb up to those bright things ...
+vapormissile And then a falling rock squished him and another billion years had to pass. :)
+paynie Отличная метафора)
yar
Now SpaceX needs the relaunch this stage to complete the cycle and prove the concept.
+Stand4Liberty Not yet. I imagine they are going to tear it down and inspect every little part to determine what needs to be refurbished. I suspect we won't see one of these reused more than once for a year or two.
+Lawrence Johnson Oh yeah, this thing is going to be thoroughly dissected and gone over so they can know what's been stressed/broken/etc and where they need to strengthen/insulate/etc. We aren't at the point of cheap, reusable rockets yet, but this takes us much closer.
+Stand4Liberty No, this stage needs to go to the Smithsonian. It's a valuable historical artifact, like the Spirit of St. Louis. But be assured that the second one and every one after that will be reused.
+Stand4Liberty This one belongs to the Museum......
We aren't totally sure yet what'll happen to this, but it'll most likely be used for testing at SpaceX's new launch pad that they're modifying for crewed flights and the Falcon Heavy
Stage 2 be like, guys.. GUYS! things happening here too!
Holy shit! I can't even do this is KSP. This is fucking mind blowing.
+DogAnus Me neither lol
+Gamer2001 +DogAnus ffs, just install mechjeb, launch landing assistance, select landing pad - done. or do it yourself, its easier than any moon landing
+DogAnus They used mechjeb though- the rocket flies itself according to its sensors and programming.
Elon Musk plays KSP as well you know, and I have to wonder how much of the Falcon 9 has been modelled and flown in KSP.
+renegadeoflife87 Probably not a lot being that KSP isn't an accurate model
+SomethingCool51 yeah fuck u
Congrats from Russia, guys!
+SpaceFox thank you buddy.
+SpaceFox High five! Thanks!
+SpaceFox CYKA BLYAT RUSH B
примите мои поздравления американцы, проделанная работа действительно заслуживает уважения
+Jerry L Kreps There are other USA-made engines, though. Dragons are exceptional for a couple of other reasons. To begin with, they're actually cost-effective.
That said. What an amazing gift for New Year.
It's not everyday you get to see the world change. Elon Musk is this generations Wright Brothers and Henry Ford all rolled into one. Simply Amazing! History will mark this event as the begining of a new era.
+B Md Wright brothers built there own stuff personally
+Dalton Morgan nobody can build this kinda stuff personally, the man hours put into it combined by all who work on it is longer than any human's life.)
+RaisedontheRadio = Strange how his ex-wife divorced him; TWICE.
@@honestycounts9352Which means she married him twice.
I remember seeing this for the first time. It still gives me shivers to this day. Well done.
We are witnessing the dawn of commercial space flight and cheaper space flight. A thousand years from now when space travel is as easy as buying a plane ticket people will look back and see this moment and realize this is was part of the beginning.
+Austin Harr less than a thousand years and more like a couple hundred.
You underestimate the human resolve.
+RtnGaming eh, we'll be around. not as we are today, most likely, but the next stage of our self-directed evolution will likely be spreading to other planets and into space.
+NinjaRabies024 More like 30 years if Elon gets his way.
+Austin Harr ...was what people 2015 envisioned. Then global warming took all dreams away and life once again became all about surviving for the few ones left.
This hasn't made the front line news! It's not trending on twitter! Well, so be it!
People are too busy tweeting about Justin Beeber. Most of humanity is more worried about useless stuff. Now this is cool stuff.
+Peter Farrell Truth hurts?
+oker59 - Well check out Reddit. Every single one of the top seven posts on /r/all are about the rocket landing!
Also, go to twitter's main page, it's there!
Also, it's on the front page of CNN's website, the "featured video" on the BBC, it's also (barely) on NBC, CBS, and Fox
+oker59 Who cares about twitter though? This was all over world news, and was one of the top stories on my local tv station (ctv).
I was 6 years old when we first landed on the moon.....now witnessing this makes me so happy just to be able to have seen such a breakthrough in space travel !!
Congratulations to the entire team for this awesome moment in history !
Incredible.
HISTORY IN PROGRESS, PLEASE STAND BY!
So now humans can go pretty much anywhere they want? Holy fucking shit, the universe is screwed.
+Guilherme C. not even close
Not with people as dumb as you
ShowTheOreo lol. K
+Guilherme C. I wish we could...
+Guilherme C. omg don't go on mars ! humans are going to damage it!! those poor rocks!!!
I must have watched this 20+ times now
Goosebumps every time.
People gonna be on Coast to Coast with George Noory saying SpaceX just ran the launch video backwards.
Seriously. That radio show is the most retarded thing in America
+Craig Matthews Does that show seriously still exist? I remember listening to it when I was kid and thinking it was interesting at first and then thinking "these people are retarded".
+xygomorphic44 I was a much bigger fan of Space Ghost Coast to Coast myself.
Sure does :D It's crazy as ever. They still have the guy on there that thinks NASA is covering up the Face on Mars.
+Craig Matthews If it's a reversed video, they gonna have to explain why the smoke isn't being sucked back into the rockets as it lands, and instead is dispersing.
The Falcon has landed, I repeat, the Falcon has landed!
Lmao could you imagine some aliens watching us jump and cheer. It's probably like watching a bunch of cavemen discovering fire and jumping going "oogaboogabooga"
Congratulations from India! We celebrate this together...still smiling.
Столь эпохальное событие требуется запомнить для всего человечества!!!!! Эта дата войдет во все учебники истории, астрономии, астронавигации. ИБО, ЭТО ГРАНДИОЗНЕЙШЕЕ СОБЫТИЕ ДЛЯ ВСЕГО МИРА !!!!!!!!! СПАСИБО ТЕБЕ SpaseX!!!!!!!!!
Congrats! This is the beginning of a new era in spaceflight!
What they do is for all of us. All the sick, all the poor, all the rich, all the unborn, all humans on this earth. Thank you for your work, moments like this puts us forward in history and opens the doors to imagination that much further.
77 people are either missed the like button or didn't understood what they saw.

All Lockheed Martin employees
This is so beautiful!!! I am honored to be alive during leaps such as these. Congratulations to everyone who worked on this project!
@Justin Brochure - do not feel like the Lone Ranger. 55-year old man (me) at my house in tears. What an amazing night and accomplishment.
Салам из Баку!
Это просто неописуемое событие в истории человечества !
+Evgeny Schmelzer )))))))))))
I watched this via their web feed in the evening at my office as it happened a year and a half ago, and this STILL never gets old!
Just arrived home from watching the launch & LANDING of the Falcon 9. Absolutley amazing! Congratulations to everyone at SpaceX.
Grats to SpaceX for finally having success
This is a great start, in a 50 or 100 years we can finally sets up space colony and asteroid mining. We can finally become a true spacefaring species.
+The Wumbologist Im guessing by 2030 we'll be mining on the moon ;)
+MYTHICALTWINKIE There's nothing on the moon to mine, moon rock is just the same rocks as the earth's mantle :(. maybe on some other planet though ;)
Tyreese Guchirezanaraboboppins Im not talking about rock im talking about helium 3 silly ;)
100 years most likely. Greedy ass people need to fund our space programs more than WARS
+biggn235 no, kiddo, there's plenty of titanium on earth too, it's just too energy costly to make
I'm not going to lie, tears came to my eyes. Every day I see things that make me losse hope for humanity, and I may be young, but that doesn't mean I can't be a part of something. Space returns my hope in humanity. What we are accomplishing makes me want rush to help it!
its amazing how much passion all these people have for their work. Great work!
a great day for humanity
early christmas gift to humanity
Such a great morning!! Thanks SpaceX! Keep bringing 'em back for touchdown!
Nice to see enthusiastic people who work, succeed and move mankind into the future.
if enough people cared this would have happened so much sooner. God Bless
+Hector Navarro Sad, but so very true.
Of if there was trust.
If there is any left.
SECO fails: *Everyone dancing in mission control no-one notices*
+Bradley Austin Injection was good. 657 x 611 Km injection orbit.
+David n Ah didn't catch that audio over the screams 😊
+Bradley Austin was there SEfail during first moments and fired later than it should or telemetry was fucked (not showing any deltaV change)? I've seen it too man
Absolutely awesome achievement! I got tears in my eye watching the landing! I hope to live long enough to see SpaceX go to Mars and back!
I cried like baby seeing this ! Truly ti deep to explain how seeing this changed my life forever!
Most historic technological moment of our generation!
That the Xbox One this comes in second place next to PS4 and PC
Definitely not but the most but it's right up there.
+red bee Sending people to space is only a small part of the puzzle. Humanity already feels the effects of space travel: smartphones would not be anywhere near as revolutionary were it not for GPS satellites, for instance. Initially, lowering the cost of space travel will lift more of our communications infrastructure into the sky. Later on, it will enable moon and mars bases. Next, it will allow for the mining of the rare earth elements required for our electronics (there are limited supplies on earth!) of asteroids. Eventually, we will figure out how to protect ourselves from potentially catastrophic asteroid collisions. And this is only the beginning for a truly efficient platform for space launch.
+Kevin Fischer but we will never be able to protect ourselves FROM BASIC BITCHS
+red bee That's what makes it so important. With this reusable first stage, prices for Falcon 9 launches drop 70%, and eventually, the 99.99% also drops. Did you know that less than 20% of the population has flown in an airplane? Yet we know that airplanes are one of the most important inventions of all time.
The scores from the judges:
USA - 10
RUS - 10
JAP - 10
GB - 10
BRA - 10
BUL - 6.9
(Bulgaria always seems to score low for some reason....) :)
+mcfortner911 Pretty sure RUS would score that lower. since X is the only one not using their boosters.
+mcfortner911
GER - 10
+Joseph Neider - we score 10, be sure. We like space and really happy about this event.
+Joseph Neider You damn right, as a Russian I would score that 4. First off, I am confused by the reaction of the crowd watching the landing - damn, they are crazy. Second, I don't see any achievement. Landing on the Earth isn't landing on another planet. The whole concept of low-cost launches has yet to be proved.
I love the way the Spacex staff react to this - all the cheering and shouting. I can't really imagine NASA reacting in the same way! :)
Congrats SpaceX! This is the beginning of a whole new era in space travel and exploration, truly remarkable.
Damn, that's so amazing. You make me cry guys 8°°°)
Sounds like someone just hit a monster Billcam
And the future will never be the same!
Way to go SpaceX!
That euphoric feeling when you achieve something historic. Welldone and congrats to you guys! another step ahead for science.
В то время, когда иные страны и общества погружаются в пучину невежества и мракобесия, наука и человеческий разум сделали еще один колоссальный шаг вперед.
Makes me sad that some people have honestly no idea what's going on, comments like "what's the big deal" "what am I watching?" "so what they landed a rocket, we already knew how to do that"and "why did this make history" all make me sad that people have to ask. Good for them for wanting to know I guess, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out why it's such a big deal.
DeadExcuses
But they know all about whatever iPhone Apple is pushing at the moment.
What a brilliant sight!!! Congrats SPACEX...congrats for fueling the dreamers...
Major chills watching this. Haven't felt that since Apollo 17. Well done Space X. As my 10 year old son would say, "We should do that again!"
Well Done! I hope for more successful launches and landings in future! From Russia with Joy!
This is a great achievement for mankind no doubt about it, but for me, will it be able to do it consistently, and safely, a thousand times over? That is the real question. How long can humans be attached to a whole shitload of rocket fuel behind them? We need alternative energy. This is the step in the right direction tho, this will bring cost down tremendously, and just think how relatively fast Elon Musk and Space X crew got there. Impressive, give them a hand folks.
For now, probably not. But, just like nearly perfecting the launch of a rocket to space, this will take time. I have no doubt in my mind that down the road this will be much, much more common.
+Maximus Prometheus This will do for now. This rocket will be picked apart and analyzed so the next one will be even better. In the long run, I'm hoping we'll see orbital elevators and other less-volatile means of leaving this planet. Modern nuclear technologies that are being developed right now (see various Gen. IV SMR concepts) will ensure we have the energy to power complex machines in space and from there it's just a matter of propulsion technology keeping pace with all our other advancements.
+Christian Knutsson I don't think we'll see nuclear power in space beyond classified government craft until the capabilities exist to refine nuclear materials in space so as to avoid the hazard of having to launch them from earth.
People get way too touchy about nuclear anything and are all too eager to protest over it even if it is just a simple red hot pellet of plutonium that powers a probe via RTG assembly. The knee jerk reaction over nuclear anything kills it.
It's 2018 and falcon 9 has flown 58 missions with only 2 failures. 96% success rate. And as of November of this year, doing a manned mission demo to the ISS. Your concerns were heard.
Well they’ve now landed a hundred of them and humans go up next week.
Terrific Job Guys! Mind Blown and still re-watching it.
Congratulations to everyone involved! Bravo!! Can't wait to see what's next!
Take that Wright Bros. We one upped you, says SpaceX
#CongratulationsSpaceX #MyXMasGift
What's craziest about all of this craziness is that it's just 3 years after the initial testing of Grasshopper, imagine what the next 30 years could hold. such a wonderful time to be alive.
plus. the excitement from everyone involved. to hear their reaction. unbelievable stuff. the ingenuity and hardwork culminating into these moments, chills, beautiful humans doing beautiful work for the entire world. top notch.
It doesn’t matter how many times I come back to watch it, I still cry tears of joy everytime
Can someone tldr me why this is so significant?
+ricochet188 Return to earth, self landing. Could change everything.
+Bill Reid Won't change anything except the amount of near earth orbit travels. This won't change anything to the fact that interplanetary travel is problematic as hell. It will just reduce the cost of trips in our backyard.
+ricochet188 Okay so basically rockets are built in stages so they sepearate and start burning in a sequence, what SpaceX did is land the first stage of a rocket back on earth to be reused.
+ricochet188 They can now reuse that stage. The vast majority of expense in a launch is in the rocket hardware. Fuel is a minor component. By reusing the stage the whole economics of a launch has changed. This completely changes the Space Industry.
+ricochet188 reusable
Good job, congratulations.
İn Turkey we're still argue about religions and politics.
Shame on us...
+mustafa mete Everyone argues about Religion politics and as long as humans are human, that will not change.
Someone have to do it lol
+Taras Shevchenko good thing eventually people well stop arguing about religion... because we will grow out of it.
Pretty impressive; that was right up there with all the great achievements over the years.
They damn sure had the right stuff that night.
HOLY SHIT!
Шикарно!
I hope the world understands how much pure science had to go into making this happen, how many trials and (public) errors led to this momentous occasion. Congrats to SpaceX and all other affiliates - bravo!
Congratz Space X from russians space fans! it's revolution !
I watched this live! Like if u did as well!
congratulations space x. honestly really emotional journey and brought tears to my eyes. amazing
thank you space x. you make believe everything is possible with hard work and motivation ! keep up the great work!
Thats cool as fuck
Супер! Молодцы!
That is the best fucking Xmas gift for everyone who put in countless hours of work.
Crowd goes wild - not for a buzzer beater three point shot, a touchdown, or a national championship - they go wild for SCIENCE and real achievement! Such a raw display of passion for something worthwhile gives me hope for the future, far more than the technology itself. It's going to be fun!
I cried....
... 300 Blue Origin employees all voted thumbs down.
This is history in the making. Congratulations.
Gave me goosebumps. I wouldn't have imagined this possible, if I hadn't just watched it.
And I'm over here playing Fallout 4... I should go read a book or something.
поздравляю
And now, to know that they are frequently doing this once every month is such an amazing feat! I literally had goosebumps everytime I'm seeing this first landing ever.
5 years on and this is just buisness as usual and other rocket companies are following suit!
This is truly amazing. This is the scientific innovation that humanity needs to propel itself beyond its current boundaries. I love stuff like this because it makes you realize the frailty of everything we do, as well as the amazing breakthroughs we can make when we apply ourselves to an idea.
good job gays! from russsia $)))brAVOO!!
Congratulation from Russia!!! )))
This gives me goosebumps every time I see it! What a time to be alive!
what a fantastic effort! unbelievable. congrats from bosnia!
Musk did it again!
But somehow I'm not surprised.
Just very very happy!
Take that Jeff Bezos!
I love watching this over and over again
This was absolutely incredible! The SpaceX team did a fantastic job!
Elon Musk => Tony Stark
Eat that Russia!
+TM56 Now now, Russia is half the reason we had this much advancement in spaceflight to begin with. We motivated each other (even though the reasons were scary and deplorable) and we both had very good achievements. Plus all spaceflight technology benefits all of mankind.
+IstasPumaNevada You're the kind of American I like.
+TM56 Yummy!
+IstasPumaNevada Germany was the other half.
+loopysausage They kicked it off with the V2 but they didnt put any other work into it.
